Crappling latencies when raiding with Gamepath

wildside — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 22:06:09 +0800

Gamepath seems to work great for me when I'm questing, doing dailies and even in 5-man instances.

However, as soon as I try to raid with it, I get crippling latency surges up to 8k ms, making it a futile effort, and having to go back to a 'regular' connection with 700-800 ms latencies.

Anyone else have this problem and know how to overcome it, or are tunnelling services just useless for raiding purposes.

I'm using Gate 1 playing on Stormrage, an east coast server, if that's of any help.

LF low high-end Oceanic progression guild

wildside — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 23:02:08 +0800

I currently play on Stormrage(PvE) in a progression guild that has got Vashj down and are working on Kael. I am currently able to make the 8am-11am (local time) raids because I work in the afternoon. This will change soon as I take a consulting job that is mainly in the morning.

So, I'm looking for a new Oceanic guild that raids in the evening local time to transfer to. I'm a mage with SSC/Eye-quality gear and able to start on Hyjal and Black Temple. Not looking to go backwards and raid Karazhan or early SSC/Eye anymore, so a Vashj/Kael or Hyjal/BT guild will be best.

Anyone know of a guild at that stage of progression looking to recruit a mage?

I'm looking for a Jaring Wireless BB agent willing to come to my place on Friday, 1 Sept to do bandwidth and performance testing.

My flat is in Bukit Utama, with almost line-of-sight to the Damansara Uptown antenna.

If it's good, I'll subscribe on the spot.

PM me.

Is anyone arranging for a bulk import of the expansion set from either the US or Australia on release?

If so, let me know and put me down for a Special Edition Set.

Wanting to buy replacement antenna for router

wildside — Fri, 26 May 2006 16:52:09 +0800

I have a D-Link G604T wireless modem-router.

It's great, but I think the signal strength of the built-in 2 DbI antenna is inadequate for reaching some of the rooms in the apartment. It hops between Good and Low in a room 30 feet (through 3 walls) away - too many walls to bounce off, I think.

As such, I'm looking to get a replacement 4 or 5 DbI antenna for it to boost the signal strength.

I don't suppose the 'regular' PC shops will sell them since they are a niche item somewhat. However, I do recall there being dedicated network hardware shops there.

Is anyone aware of a shop in Lowyat that definitely sells wireless antennas? If so, can you recommend a particular good one to deal with?

Thanks in advance.

Latency skyrockets in AV and BWL

wildside — Fri, 10 Feb 2006 20:55:42 +0800

I usually play with a latency of between 450 and 800ms.

However, everytime I enter BWL or the Field of Strife and Frostwolf Village area of Alterac Valley, my latency skyrockets to 10000+. Starts off with slow increased to 1000ms, then 2000, 5000 until it usually stagnates at 12000 or so.

It ONLY happens in these two areas, and not anywhere else, so I don't think it has anything to do with my broadband connection or my system.

Anyone suffering from the same problem and have any suggestions to overcome this?
